Information

José Manuel García Fernández received his Doctorate in Chemistry from the University of Seville (Spain) in 1988. Between 1990 and 1995 he pursued postdoctoral research at the Centre d’Etudes de Grenoble, working in the field of carbohydrate molecular and supramolecular chemistry. In 1996 he joined the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at the Institute for Chemical Research (CSIC – University of Seville), where he was promoted to Research Professor in 2006. Current targets of the laboratory include the design of self-assembled glycocarriers for drug and gene delivery, the development of glycodrugs targeting defective carbohydrate processing enzymes and immune response mediators and the implementation of new technologies for the preparation of prebiotic oligosaccharides as functional food ingredients.
